...and then you go and spoil it all by writing 'footy' which makes you worse than Barcelona.  Could've been worse, he could've said soccer |

Could've been worse, he could've said soccer Using soccer as a primary term in England is a no-no but I don't have a huge issue with 'soccer', it's an old British term after all. I work with a mad-keen American Football fan and have to use 'soccer' every now and again. 'Footy' is a term that should only used by estranged fathers trying to convince their kids that a weekend at dad's smaller-than-mum-and-Gary's-new-pad will be fun. |

Up against Real Madrid who are essentially funded by the state, the whole situation in Spanish football is so skewed to the big two it makes Scotland look like a balanced league - which will make it all the sweeter if Athletico Madrid win the title!
Fully agree. The EU are looking into Madrid for that reason, along witg Galatasaray, as they allege them receiving payments. In the meantime there is nothing but deathly silence from UEFA. |

Cannot believe only 4400 turned up to watch Posh v Colchester last night.
Great chance of cementing a play off place and a chance to welcome their JPT winners.
Should be ashamed

I was surprised by that as well....I guess the trip to Wembley at the weekend was expensive, and they're probably expecting a second visit in May. |

Preston fans getting a little worried about that fixing tomfoolery. Ugh, I'd hate it if Swindon had players involved in all that ugly business in modern times. We've got Nile Ranger and that's enough drama |

Having seen our last two abject performances at Deepdale I don't think they took any payments in games against us.

They are charged with bribery and money laundering.
Sounds more serious than spot fixing.
